Masculine cards are sometimes hard to make, and stamps can be hard to come by too. These stamps can be found at www.starvingartistamps.com
Sorry, I don't know how to get rid of all that mumbo jumbo yet. I will learn soon.
The cycle is colored with copic markers and the strip behind it is a tire tread stamp. The brads are faux because I didn't intend on adding them until it was finished and I felt it needed something. I punched out the circle glued it on, then added crystal effects. Each panel is on dimensionals and the card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. tfl

I love this! My hubby and his buddies still ride- and they are all in their 50's. I would love to try your design for them! Wonderful masculine lines and colors. TFS
